Optimization of the ratio of two functions is called fractional programming or ratio optimization problem. If one can optimize simultaneously collection of fractional objective functions then the problem is called multi-objective fractional programming. This paper presents a survey on fractional programming problems. In contrast, this survey excludes many of the technical details and provides a...

In this paper, we integrate goal programming (GP), Taylor Series, Kuhn-Tucker conditions and Penalty Function approaches to solve linear fractional bi-level programming (LFBLP)problems. As we know, the Taylor Series is having the property of transforming fractional functions to a polynomial. In the present article by Taylor Series we obtain polynomial objective functions which are equivalent to...

A new method namely, denominator objective restriction method based on simplex method is proposed for solving linear fractional programming problems. Further, another method namely, decomposition-restriction method based on decomposition principle and the denominator objective restriction method is proposed for obtaining an optimal fuzzy solution to the fully fuzzy linear fractional programming...

This paper deals with fuzzy goal programming approach to multi-objective linear plus linear fractional programming problem based on Taylor series approximation. In the model formulation of the problem, we first construct the membership functions by determining individual optimal solutions of the objective functions subject to the system constraints. The membership functions are then transformed...

In this paper, we study the classical sensitivity analysis when the right - hand – side vector, and the coefficients of the objective function are allowed to vary. 

In this paper a multi - objective linear fractional programming problem with the fuzzy variables and vector of fuzzy resources is studied and an algorithm based on a parametric approach is proposed. The proposed solving procedure is based on the parametric approach to find the solution, which provides the decision maker with more complete information in line with reality. The simplicity of the ...

In this article, a fuzzy goal programming (GP) and method of approximation is presented for the solution of a multiobjective linear plus linear fractional programming problem. In the proposed approach, membership functions are defined for each fuzzy goal and then a method of variable change on the underand overdeviational variables of the membership functions associated with the fuzzy goals of ...

The importance of linear fractional programming comes from the fact that many real life problems are based on the ratio of physical or economic values (for example cost/time, cost/volume, profit/cost or any other quantities that measure the efficiency of a system) expressed by linear functions. Usually, the coefficients used in mathematical models are subject to errors of measurement or vary wi...
